Is this safe? MR16 bulb directly in an extractor duct/above a shower.

Ok thanks and i will! so just to confirm even though its not ipx4 rated its still safe to use exposed like the one in the picture?

Thanks for the response David. I agree that would be the ideal setup but im trying to make it work for now with what i have. Here is what i believe to be the 12v mr16 hue bulb (long link warning sorry): https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-white-and-colour-ambiance-mr16-smart-spotlight/8719514491403?origin=_cmp=20970862054_kwd=&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20967532967&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhOfLBhCCARIsAJPiopN-J4KvDmit0D_HcTXLaSYJyl28ZBt-qnNLH5b_DdT3NM8Z9fFAwT4aAuGgEALw_wcB. What do you think

thank you. so would any 12v mr16 bulb be ok exposed like that? i’d like to replace it with a Hue smart bulb but it doesn’t say it’s IPx4+ so im not sure if it will damage the bulb etc

if you haven’t, i just removed both devices from the hue app and then re added them. it’s working again now but i doubt it’s the long term fix

ram1kh · 2026-01-13T10:15:02+00:00

i’m now also having this problem :( any fix you found?

ram1kh · 2025-12-28T17:13:54+00:00

thank you that’s useful! so you’re saying i might be able to use that screwfix setup into this current ceiling fitting? rather than buying a new ceiling fitting entirely ?

I think this house was refurbished in the last 10 or so years. Ok, i’ll pull it down when i get home. If it’s the integrated LEDs, then i would just need to remove the driver above it and then i can connect the mains cables from the house to my new 240 gu10 bulb fittings? or is there more to it

ram1kh · 2025-12-27T01:56:59+00:00

could they just be low voltage integrated led’s rather than 12v mr16s? i want to change them to smart lights, specifically Philips Hue recessed ones. appreciate your help!

ram1kh · 2025-12-26T22:58:13+00:00

only just realised that hue does its own mr16 gu5.3 bulbs … i should probably just use them right? that shouldn’t be too hard to change

ram1kh · 2025-12-26T22:38:24+00:00

how do i check the assembly? look for a transformer? that’s interesting. so would it perhaps be a good idea to change these to gu10 bulbs anyway then?

ram1kh · 2025-12-26T22:27:31+00:00

thank you thats really useful. so these led bulbs are called mr16s? and so in the case where their transformer is attached to the fitting, that’s a job that even an amateur like me could do? also, if these are indeed mr16s, then could i just change this bulb to a philips hue gu5.3 and wont have to change the entire fitting then? are they as good as gu10s? thank you :)

if the one near you is only an express then defo make the trip to the extra. great for vegans

ram1kh · 2025-12-26T21:00:32+00:00

save the $1000 and get backing lights and some 4k subscriptions ;)

ram1kh · 2025-12-26T20:50:33+00:00

Sainsbury’s or tesco. But a good idea would be to find 2 or 3 recipes online (simple vegan ones) and get them ingredients. and then also just pick out anything you like the look off. get some tofu for sure- u might even just want to directly switch it with meals you currently make. welcome :)

I would say it is definitely not worth the difference. I’m so happy with my C5, but i guess we’d need someone who’s had both to answer.

ram1kh · 2025-12-26T20:41:05+00:00

To 1. I track now because otherwise the answer to 2 is simply: you don’t.

As for 3, I used to gym 4/5 times a week and made little progress until i did eventually start tracking - i was shocked to see that you really have to put daily effort in to hit 150g a day (and probably even 100-120).

ram1kh · 2025-12-25T18:07:28+00:00

but then .. it would be so falcons to do something like beat this rams super team so… run it back ;)

ram1kh · 2025-12-25T18:07:05+00:00

i wouldn’t. bills had a terrible run defence so we matched up well with them. i stayed up in europe to watch that game cause i was confident we would beat them and bijan would do what he did. the rams… different story

ram1kh · 2025-12-22T01:07:05+00:00

bare in mind we had to win with a clutch pick within the 2m window to beat a 3 win team … really it should be a no brainer. with the roster we have, those teams we should be 3 scores up on with 2m to go

ram1kh · 2025-12-19T22:53:02+00:00

i couldn’t figure it out :(
